The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
Ah!
To suppress the sigh threatening to burst out, Yuli bit her lip firmly.
But she absolutely couldn’t let him see her flustered. Her pride wouldn’t allow it.
Unlike her, he seemed to be doing perfectly fine. He still shone brilliantly—so brightly that everything around him appeared illuminated—and looked dazzlingly handsome.
It seemed only she had spent sleepless nights in anguish.
“The seminar went well? I heard you attended in place of Manager Kim.”
Even though she couldn’t possibly care less about something like that…
Yuli glared silently at Jae Ho, who brazenly asked about the seminar. Her heart pounded wildly, yet he looked at her as if nothing had happened, which only made her resent him more. Maybe that was why her words came out sharp.
“Someone as busy as you, who couldn’t even make it to the seminar—what brings you here?”
Originally, it was Jae Ho, not Manager Kim, who was supposed to attend the seminar. Manager Kim had also had a sudden conflict, leaving her no choice but to go in his place.
“Even busy people need to eat.”
Jae Ho gave a light smile, then turned toward Hyun Jo seated across from him, tilting his head slightly as if asking, “Who’s this?”
“Hello. I’m Park Hyun Jo. You’re Senior Kwon Je Ho, right?”
Before Yuli could introduce them, Hyun Jo stood up politely and extended his hand, clearly already knowing who Jae Ho was.
“You can drop the honorifics. I was your junior in middle and high school. It’s a true honor to finally meet you in person, senior.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
